So, you are discrediting his performance as an actor because he wouldn't remember his lines? By 1972, he was Marlon f*cking Brando. He didn't have to remember his lines. He improv'd and was better than any other actor on that set. The fact that his lines were posted around the set, yet he was still able to give an absolutely incredible performance as Vito Corleone...I'm missing how this is wasted talent. How can you call talent wasted, when this talent produced films like The Godfather, Apocalypse Now!, The Missouri Break, Last Tango in Paris. These are some of the greatest movies of all time. Not a waste of talent at all.
